Novus History

Novus’s scientific roots and history originate in the 1950s when St. Louis, Missouri-based Monsanto Company began conducting livestock and poultry feed metabolism studies. In 1959, one of its products received FDA approval as an animal feed additive, which helped launch the Monsanto division that would become Novus. In an effort to focus on its core businesses - seed, herbicide and biotechnology - Monsanto sold its Feed Ingredients division to Mitsui & Co. Ltd. and Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. in 1991, setting Novus on its path of Health through Nutrition based on science.

With two products for the poultry industry and the vision of helping to feed the world affordable, wholesome food, Novus International was born. At the time, this vision statement was considered a bold goal and some questioned how Novus could realistically make a contribution. Although Novus was a small, business-to-business company, we understood that our core knowledge of health and nutrition related to poultry could be beneficial to other species.

Since 1991, Novus has brought numerous products to the market, including more than 100 over the past decade, and developed product families including Methionine solutions, Trace Mineral solutions, Enzyme solutions, Eubiotics and Feed Quality solutions. Novus’s comprehensive portfolio provides a holistic approach to solutions, service and sustainability for poultry, swine, aquaculture and cattle.

Testimonials

ZHANG Xun, Marketing Specialist NEA

Working for Novus in China allows me to experience and learn about countless real life situations in the livestock industry due to the variety of the locations and operations in a country as big as China. I get to work with a really creative team from all different backgrounds who are professional and communicate openly. As an NGS winner, thanks to Novus I have been transformed from a college student to a professional in the industry.

Jared Hux, Senior Marketing Manager NORAM

“At Novus International, I get to work closely with the field and with customers. This helps me stay close to the business and truly understand our customers’ needs. Through Novus I was able to work in Brazil for three years, which opened my eyes to a whole new part of the world. The best part of my experience working in Brazil was the people. The culture of openness and friendliness from the people had a positive impact on my experience in Latin America.I found that close friends and even complete strangers were willing to assist or provide guidance in any issue I encountered. One of the key aspects Brazil’s culture that I noticed is this sense of inclusion.In my short three years living and working in Brazil as an expatriate, never was I excluded from the group.In fact, I was invited with open arms to participate in group discussions and office activities, even though I was not able to communicate effectively 100% of the time.This culture of inclusion, especially from my Novus Brazil family, was very comforting and allowed me to go beyond my comfort level and led to a more impactful experience. One of the key learnings from my experience is that each country in Latin America is unique – it is not one country or culture – and having the opportunity to experience the multiple cultures within Latin America has contributed positively to my professional and personal development.”

When a dry cow transitions to being a lactating cow, her energy requirements are similar to that
of a human running two marathons a day. Because of this, the transition period from calving
to lactating is critical due to the physiological and endocrinal challenges to homeostasis these
cows face. The sudden demand in milk production can cause significant metabolic stress that
must be managed and the cow must be prepared.
